The Padres make a rare appearance at The Stadium. Kay had Flaherty and Cone in the booth so be prepared to be bombarded with questions.
Side Rant: Great job by the other NY team. Eddie Coleman who covers the Mets used the words "classless", "reprehensible", and "disgraceful" to describe how they handled the Willie Randolph situation. They made the poor guy fly to California then after the team won 3 of their last 4, including last night, the fired him and announced it at 3:30 AM Eastern. Willie wasn't Casey Stengle or even Joe Torre but it's not his fault that Jose Reyes and David Wright don't hustle, Carlos Beltran is overrated, Moises Alou can't stay healthy, Billy Wagner is the left-handed version of Trevor Hoffman and can't close a meaningful game and he has a bunch of old players on the roster. GM Omar Minaya is more responsible for the Mets poor record than Willie. That's why the Mets will always be the "other NY team."
The Padre players all toured Yankee Stadium when they played the Yankees in the '98 World Series.
"You were on that team, did you sense they were in awe?"
To Flaherty who played for both teams.
"Is it a different vibe playing in SD vs here?" Obviously dummy, Flaherty just said how different the 2 cities are.
Discussing the Gonzalez brothers playing for SD.
"Could you guys imagine playing MLB with your brothers?"
